ANOTHER SHOCKING ACCIDENT
On last Wednesday morning, between
Is and 8 O'Clock, Messrs. Alex. Muir
ply and James Fur, of Harper's Fer
ry, were engaged in hauling sawdast
with "a two-horse team belonging to
Mr.. Murphy, to car on the B. & o..
switch at Duffields, preparatory to
shipping to Harper's Ferry. They
were partly over the B. & o. Duffields
crossing when the whistle of the near
and rapidly approaching engine of
the limited express (which was sew
eral hours late) notified them of their
danger. Mr.. Murphy jumped from
the wagon and endeavored to back
his horses, but in vain, they refused
to move, and in his efforts to move
them, Mr.. M. was lifted by the pas
sing engine and hurled higher than
its smoke stack, cutting him about
the head and bruising his side. Both
horses were killed and the front part
of the wagon was shattered. Mr..
FUR, who was in the rear of the wag-
on, jumped, but unfortunately in the
wrong direction, as he fell on the track
Just in front of the engine, and wa.i
instantly killed. The B. & o. Co. sent
car to Duffields for Mr.. Murphy and
the body of Furr. Mr.. Furr was an
industrious man of about q years and
unmarried. His funeral took place
from Camp Hill M. P. Church on
Thursday.
Two TRAINS PARTIALLY WRECK
ED.-As No. l southbound Express
train on the S. V. r.. r., due here at
TAO, P. M, approached the B. & o.
grade crossing at the edge of Charles
town, last Wednesday evening, and
the Express was accordingly signaled
by the Waterman to stop. The air
brakes, howey err, failed to work, and
instead of speed being reduced quick
enough, the Express went laundering
on and into lot of empty coal hop
pers midway of the freight train. Five
of these hoppers were thrown from
the track of the B. & o., and box car
partially derailed. The S. V. engine
passed right through the B. & O. train
and landed off the track and down the
bank on the south side of the B. & O.,
not very seriously damaged. Fortu-
nately no one on either train was in
jured, and it is said that Mr.. Phillips,
the Waterman, and Mr.. VIM. Wysong,
who happened at the time to be stand
ing with him, on the south side ofthe
road, didn't wait long to consider the
matter when they found that the S.
V. train was not checking up as usual.
Wreckers were put to work and the
track cleared for the passage of trains
by 4 P. NJ, and in few hours the
removal of the entire debris was ac-
complished.

For THE HERALD.
REGRET TO LOSE HIM.

The many friends of P. A. Rohr-
baugh, Esq, hear with regret the re-
ports that he has made law and bust
ness engagements in the West, and
will leave Martinsburg. He has come
to be considered a useful man to the
community, always ready to serve the
church or the public as occasion de-
mands. And in his law practice he
has been very successful In gaining
cases, the confidence of the courts and
of the public. AS far as our observa-
tion goes, he has not lost case at this
session, although interested in nearly
all that came up, making himself
(winning) Nestor of the Bar, and not
a losing card with an empty title. 1t
is the opinion of many that he has
bright legal future before him.
ASSOCIATE.
If we understand Mr.. Rohrbaugh's
intentions rightly, he will retain his
home, his practice and mis- property
here, attending to his cases in person
or by substitute the same as before.
He has made paying investments in
the West, and represents some large
business operations as counsel, which
require his presence over summer,
and he will return in the fall.-ED. !

ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT Men
are being killed in an alarming man.
ner on the railroads. Last week two
men were killed at Charlestown, in
this county, and now there is another
fatal accident of the same kind to rec
ord. On Wednesday Mr.. Alex, Muir
ply and Mr.. James Fur, of Harper's
Ferry, were hauling sawdust at Duff
fields. About half-past eight O'Clock
they were crossing the railroad track
at the latter place in tWo-horse Wag-
on, and just as they fairly on the track
a fast east-bound express train came
laundering along at the rate of fifty
miles an hour and struck them. Furr
was instantly killed, and Murphy
somewhat injured, though we under
stand not seriously. Both horses were
killed and the wagon demolished.
Fur resided at Harper's Ferry, and
we are informed is single man. DIR.
w. G. Daniels dressed the wounds of
Murphy, and he was taken to his
home. Coroner McGarry held an in
quest but up to the time of going to
press we had not heard the verdict.
JOHN STEVENS FATE.-The daily
papers of Saturday last contained the
following dispatch from Fort Smith,
Arkansas
"James Lambs, Albert Odell and
John T. Ecnole, white, and John
Stevens, coIored, were hanged in the
United States Court yard here Friday
for murders committed in the Indian
Territory"
1t is thought that the colored man
John Stevens named above is form
er resident of Shepherdstown. He
left here about three years ago, enlist
ed in the regular army, and when last
heard from was in Fort Smith. There
are various other circumstances that
lead to the belief that he is the man.
Stevens will be remembered by many
as rather loIid-talking fellow, much
given to playing the fiddle.

FREE TRADE.

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off revenue stamps from Pro-
prietary Medicines, no doubt has largely
benefited the consumers, as well as re-
lieying the burden of home manufac-
turers. Especially is this the case with
Green's august FIoacer and Boschee's Ger
man Syrup, as the reduction of thirty-six
cents per dozen, has been added to in
crease the size of the bottles containing
these remedies, thereby giving one-fifth
more medicine in the rs cent size. The
august Flo,cer for Dyspepsia and Liver
Complaint, and the German Syrup for
Cough and Lung troubles. have perhaps,
the largest sale of any medicines in the
world. The advantage of increased size
of the bottles will be greatly appreciated
by the sick and afflicted. in every town
and village in civilized countries. Sam
pie bottles for 10 cents remain the same
size

RAILROAD SURVEY ALONG THE
CANAL.-A route for a railroad be-
tween Hancock and Williamsport to
connect with the Western Maryland
at the latter point has been under con-
'sideration for some time by Senator
German, Mr.. Stephen B. Elkins and
others interested in West Virginia
coal mines. A party of engineers is
now operating the vicinity of Mill
stone Point with this object in view,
and an agent is prospecting and en-
deavoring to obtain an estimate of the
cost of right of way.
There 10 a rumor current that the
proposed line may be diverted from
the canal at or near Green Spring Fur
mace, and passing around the noun
tain to Clearspring, form the desired
connection with the Western Mary
land railroad at Hagerstown. While
there is no certainty as to the exact
route of the road, there is every prob
ability of its construction within a
comparatively short period. IF the
route to Hagerstown by way of Clear
spring should be selected, coaling
station will be established at the point
where it will leave the canal.

ALL For CHRIST. For the last
three weeks, following the Week of
Prayer, the different churches have
joined in common and united effort
to move the hearts of the people for

In one of the Educational bills Of
tered in the w. Va. Legislature, were
illusions to able-bodied mail per-
sons" y" practical teachers" and "mor-
rel persons of temperate habits"
We fear the introduction oftoo many
"ologies" into the public schools will
not add to their merits nor advance
them on the road to perfection. The
main object of the system is an ele-
nentary education, and as few chill
dren can go over five or eight years to
school it takes every bit of their time
TO acquire sound and practical
knowledge of those studies that are
most necessary in this business age.
The man who wrote the bill referred
to, probably had smattering of tenn
perance, hygiene and similar sciences
in the public schools, but he couldn't
spell "moral" worth cent. And
there are many teachers in the same
boat; and for that matter, many edi-
tors, doctors and even ministers. To
keep up with the times, we have to
crowd education too much. We have
some high schools in this State much
non-plussed for want of teacher who
can teach Greek, Latin, German, &C.,
as the lalC provides; so with the high
er sciences in the public schools. An
other objection is, that the country is
over-crowded with coHegiates, while it
Is hard to fit hands enough to the plow
handles, axe handles, fork and rake
hanil5s and every other industrial
and mechanical handle.
This temperance-in-the-school bill
provides that after 1883, no teacher
shall be given a certificate who does
not pass satisfactory examination in
Physiology and hygiene, with special
reference to the nature and effect of
alcoholic drinks and other narcotics
upon the human system.
Who'll examine the examiners
Professors who are learned in all the
arts, sciences and languages, will hard
~ give their services in country
school " deestrict" at 20 or 80 dol
lars month. If the law raises the
standard ofeducation and enlarges the
held ofstudy, let thesalaries be raised
accordingly!

Since you are interestedin education
so far as it is pro bono publico, we
will say that the schools are nearly all
in prosperous condition, owing to
the efficient teachers in charge OF
them.
Our efficient county Supt. Mr.. III. s.
Butts. caused his smiling face to be
seen in our schools last week. The
pupils seemed to be glad to see him,
and to listen to the kind instruction
which he impaired. If the boys and
girls take his kind advice and practice
the lessons that he gives them, they
will avoid a great deal of trouble and
always do right.
AT this writing the ice is floating
